About H2bid, Inc.
H2bid, Inc., based in Detroit, Michigan, serves water utilities and vendors around the world by delivering savings, efficiency, and transparency to the global water utility industry.
H2bid’s cloud-based e-bidding service enables water utilities to realize immediate cost savings and access to new technologies and suppliers. e-Bidding from H2bid manages all types of bids and tenders across the full spectrum of a water utility’s plant, equipment, and supply needs, including Requests for Information (RFI), Request for Proposals (RFP), Request for Quotes (RFQ), Sealed Bids and Reverse Auctions.
Until H2bid’s e-bidding service was introduced, there was no centralized method for the bidding process in the water industry. With hundreds of thousands of water utilities publishing bids daily, it was impossible for vendors to track open bid opportunities at all of the world’s utilities. This was especially true for small vendors that were typically limited to tracking bids with their local utility only. The result is greater transparency and significant savings for utilities.
Led by Glenn Oliver, a lawyer and former member of the Detroit Board of Water Commissioners, and Andrew Meyer, an accomplished leader with over 20 years of experience growing software and technology-based companies, H2bid is poised to help utilities realize their biggest savings. H2bid’s eProcurement service can be customized for any additional types of bids or purchasing at no direct cost.
